Collaboration has led to the successful observation of these ultrafast electrons within conducting two-dimensional polymers. Professors Kimoon Kim and Ji Hoon Shim along with Dr. Yeonsang Lee from the ...

For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum process into a frame‑by‑frame movie. The work captures the split‑second ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens in between. Seeing these hidden moments matters because chemistry is ultimately governed by quantum rules. By ...

A new scientific instrument at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory promises to capture some of nature's speediest processes. It uses a method known as ultrafast electron ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record ...

Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, ...

Under the right circumstances, electrons can be freed of the rat-race commutes and high-stress traffic deep within a conductor by skirting its boundaries. There, they can turn effortless circles in a ...

Yet even at this apparently late date in the field’s development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...

The electron is the basic unit of electricity, as it carries a single negative charge. This is what we’re taught in high school physics, and it is overwhelmingly the case in most materials in nature.
